Female artists occupy - 10 percent of country radio

According to new data from equality advocate Jada E. Watson, female artists occupied exactly 10 percent of the space available on country radio in 2019. That, Watson says, is "barely enough to be heard", and much lower than two decades ago. In 2000, on the 19 February 2000 chart, women made up 40% of the week’s top songs. Calculating the drop, the percentage of songs by women in the Top 20 declined 75% in the past 20 years. Read Watson's research here.
